		<description>Getting here late as usual, but,

&lt;blockquote&gt;Those comments came just days after Nadya Sulamen, a single mother of six, gave birth to octuplets, and Kotler had an opinion about her as well. “She’s a criminal,” Kotler declared. “She’s a murderer. She’s not only guaranteeing her kids a very hard life, she’s killing all of us.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I love this quote.   While I do think Nadya Sulamen was wrong to have all those kids while she&#039;s in the situation she is, I think the real criminals are the dems and they are the ones guaranteeing all of our kids and our grandkids a very hard life with their cursed stimulus.    
Also, I&#039;m pretty sure that if she had been a muslim with that many kids,  the story would be a little different.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;To those folks who think that there are too many people in the world - how do you know that you are not one of the excess people? And if you are one of the excess people what are you doing about it?

Talk is really cheap, you hypocrites, isn’t it?

ss396 on February 10, 2009 at 8:39 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Duh, It’s pretty obvious that they are not the ones because, They understand the problem, know it’s true and are willing to do what is needed to save the Earth. Namely kill everyone that doesn’t think like them. . (i.e. conservative, religious white men, preferably rich)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I see it as more of a scam; a con game designed to make Algore wealthy and prestigious. Hell, it’s already garnered him a Nobel and an Oscar.
A hoax generally has a humor component. There’s nothing funny about this (if you discount Algore’s face).

SKYFOX on February 10, 2009 at 12:06 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, scam or fraud are probably better words for describing global warming and I use them too from time to time.

But global warming involves more than just Al Gore getting rich, Gore and his backers are working toward a global tax system by which they can control not only industries but also individuals. If they have their way, the world&#039;s population can be taxed for literally doing nothing more than breathing. We exhale carbon dioxide you know.

Of course the slight warming we experienced recently has nothing to do with carbon dioxide and everything to do with the solar cycle. The sun is in low phase right now, that&#039;s why its getting colder. This is a normal cycle of the sun and is obviously not man-made.

But Al Gore and his ilk blame carbon dioxide because it&#039;s the perfect target of a tax, &lt;strong&gt;you literally cannot live without creating carbon dioxide (CO2).&lt;/strong&gt; But it has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of climate change. Indeed, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://icecap.us/images/uploads/SmoothedMonthlyCO2vsTemps.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this chart&lt;/a&gt; shows, carbon dioxide continues to climb (which is a good thing because CO2 enhances plant growth to feed a hungry world) while the world continues to cool.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Can you say President Biden? Now THAT is scary.

abcurtis on February 10, 2009 at 9:32 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d say impeach both Obama and Biden, but that would result in President Pelosi.

We&#039;re doomed I tell ya.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Last year, an anxious, depressed 17-year-old boy was admitted to the psychiatric unit at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. He was refusing to drink water. Worried about drought related to climate change, the young man was convinced that if he drank, millions of people would die.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production—with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.

But of course that prediction by Newsweek was not predicting &lt;em&gt;&quot;warm&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, that was the &lt;em&gt;&quot;going into another Ice Age&quot;&lt;/em&gt; scare of the mid-1970&#039;s.

The current global warming fear mongering is actually the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessandmedia.org/specialreports/2006/fireandice/fireandice.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;FOURTH climate change scare of this century&lt;/a&gt;. Will we ever learn?</description>

Calif. Judges Order Massive Prisoner Release

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —  A special panel of federal judges tentatively ruled Monday that California must release tens of thousands of inmates to relieve overcrowding.

The judges said no other solution will improve conditions so poor that inmates die regularly of suicides or lack of proper care.

The panel said it wanted the state to present a plan to trim the population in two to three years.

&quot;There are simply too many prisoners for the existing capacity,&quot; they wrote. &quot;Evidence offered at trial was overwhelmingly to the effect that overcrowding is the primary cause of the unconstitutional conditions that have been found to exist in the California prisons.&quot;

The three judges suggested a target prison population of between 100,800 and 121,000 inmates — down from the current level of about 158,000. More inmates live in conservation camps, community correctional facilities and private prisons in other states.

The proposed targets would require the state to reduce the prison population by between 36,200 and 57,000 inmates. Attorneys representing inmates had sought a reduction of about 52,000 inmates.

The state can change parole and other policies to cut the population of its 33 adult prisons without endangering the public, the judges said.

Reducing the number of inmates might have a positive effect as well, they said. &quot;This is particularly true considering that California&#039;s overcrowded prison system is itself ... a public safety hazard,&quot; the panel said in its order.

The state will appeal any final prisoner release order to the U.S. Supreme Court, said Matthew Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

&quot;We disagree with the ruling. We disagree that the prisons are unsafe. We will appeal,&quot; Cate said, speaking on behalf of himself and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Releasing that many inmates is &quot;the equivalent of between seven and 10 California prisons.&quot;

The three federal judges said a final population figure would be set later and they may hold more hearings before making their decision final.

After hearing closing arguments in the case last week, the judges said they wanted to quickly issue a tentative ruling in hopes of forcing the state to take steps on its own or reach a settlement with attorneys representing inmates.

In Monday&#039;s order, they offered the services of a court-appointed referee for settlement talks. Previous negotiations failed, forcing the trial that started in November.

The order comes as California struggles to bridge a $42 billion budget deficit that is forcing the state to furlough its employees two days each month.

An expert panel convened by California corrections officials has projected the state could save $803 million to $906 million annually if parolees were not sent back as easily for technical violations and if convicts could more easily earn early release credits by taking classes and vocational programs.

Um, to simplify the article; California will be releasing up to 57,000 prisoners back into society do to over crowding and a lack of revenue. If not mistaken, Obama was considering moving the GITMO inmates to San Diego. Just wondering; why not release all of these future Democrats in San Francisco where they&#039;d all fit in immediately...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Last year, an anxious, depressed 17-year-old boy was admitted to the psychiatric unit at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. He was refusing to drink water. Worried about drought related to climate change, the young man was convinced that if he drank, millions of people would die.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;One November evening long ago in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a 13-year-old named William Troeller hanged himself from the transom in his bedroom. The boy had watched his family slide into an increasingly desperate situation. [His older brother] Harold told a newspaper reporter that his brother &quot;was sensitive and always felt embarrassed&quot; about asking for his share at mealtime. &quot;He Was Reluctant about Asking for Food,&quot; read the New York Times headline.

		<description>To those folks who think that there are too many people in the world - how do you know that you are not one of the excess people?  And if you are one of the excess people what are you doing about it?

Talk is really cheap, you hypocrites, isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;A thunder &amp; lightening storm hit the area and caused a fire that wiped out most of the forest. The thinning out process would have saved the forest, according to experts.--Keemo&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Today&#039;s firestorms killing Australians illustrate the same horrible point.

Compound a tinder box with a population that won&#039;t manicure it to safety standards, add a burning cigarette butt tossed by a domestic terrorist, knowingly or not makes no difference in the results.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;they never seem to discover this until it’s too late.

Disturb the Universe on February 10, 2009 at 8:10 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

yep.

Specter talked circles around nothing all day yesterday. When asked to explain his reasoning, he had none. I wrote him an email:

&lt;strong&gt;DENY DEBT YOUR VOTE!&lt;/strong&gt;

As to our future, the RNC with Michael Steele will rally conservatives during this presidency. What Steele, Palin, Romney, Jindal and Huckabee coordinate for the GOP will be invigorating to support; I hope.</description>
